Ghost matrix, glow printing

Ok, there aren’t any usefull applications we can think of for this one, but we want one really badly. This is a combination of a miniPOV, some UV LEDs, a CNC rig, and some glow in the dark paper. The Ghost matrix works similar to a dot matrix printer where it flashes the UV light to activate the paper. The final effect is very nice. Great job on this one.

I once saw a guy who took “Pin Hole” camera pictures with a Cube Van and photographic paper about 8’X10′, you could modify this thing (multiple colours, somthing to move the paper) to print out giant digital photo prints, now that would be weird!

It would be cool to make a clock based on this display type.
@emperor dane: you need UV light since it has higher energy than visible light. IR on the other hand has lower energy and won’t work. You can only make the conversion higher energy light->lower energy light.
